When saying Chinese, you may use a lot of overlapping words,
For example: seeking, cold and clear, twilight,
Drift beautiful and bright, happy...
Stacked words can enhance the momentum of language,
In particular, some words are also full of rhythm and rhyme,
It's even more catchy to say.
In fact, there are many overlapping words in English,
像 so so, go-go, chop chop
They are all more common in daily expression.
So, the question is, what does there mean?
At first glance it looks a bit like the Chinese "where and where",
There may be a small partner to say:
there means "there",
Well, there there means "there there,"
Show emphasis!
However, what QuXuejun wants to tell you is:
It's not that simple!
What it really means has nothing to do with it.
In colloquial language, it is often used to comfort each other,
It means "Okay, okay, okay".
In the American drama "The Big Bang Theory",
When Xie Er was comforting,
It is often said that there are
There there! Never mind!
Okay, okay! It doesn't matter.
There there, stop crying and go to sleep.
Okay, don't cry, go to sleep.

What it really means is really hard to guess.
Let's first look at its English definition:
used to describe a financial period or business in which there is especially fast and active development.
It is used to describe that period of active and rapid economic and commercial development
So go-go means:
Active, trendy, swing dancing, uncontrolled

no-no
When you want to reject people, don't say no-no,
Because, it doesn't mean "no no" at all,
It's "taboo, something not to be done."
Here it emphasizes what not to do, and it is a noun!
Note: No-no can be used to talk to children, or to gently say taboo things in life.
